About This Item
EDGAR DEGAS (1834-1917). Degas was a French impressionist painter best known for his oil paintings and his sculptures of dancers. ALS. 1pg. 4 ½” x 7”. Thursday evening. No place. An autograph letter signed “Degas” to an unidentified correspondent: “Thursday evening, Dear friend I won’t be coming tomorrow, not by the train, which you know. So when are the new games going to begin? Even with all possible good will, I find myself taken off the list for Friday. Best wishes, Degas”. There is light mat burn around the edges and the writing gets lighter as the letter concludes. There are also two folds and two moutning remnants on the verso that affect nothing.
